Ponds White Beauty All-in-One BB + Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ {Product Review}

Ponds White Beauty All-in-One BB + Fairness Cream SPF 30 PA++ {Product Review}

I have delayed this review by like almost three weeks! Anyways, so are you a BB-cream lover. Ok, I want to make one point over here. BB creams or any other creams for that matter are not a substitute for sunscreen!! So, please use a sunscreen separately.

Now, let me come on to my trysts with BB creams. I have not really been lucky with them. Either they leave a white cast or make my skin too dark or too oily. I rather prefer using base and follow up with my sunscreen and I am done.


Pros
blends easily
gives a dewy glow to the skin
leaves the skin looking a little bright
easy to carry
very less product needed so lasts long!

So, how did this product fare for me? For the starters, I like the packaging. Its stylish and very easy to carry and the mouth of the tube dispenses exactly the amount of product you need which is, trust me, less than a black pepper corn size!

Any more and you might end up with a white cast on the face. Using the right amount of the product, however, leaves the skin dewy. It does provide a little coverage but I can not really comment because I do not have small blemishes that I could cover up.

Cons
leaves a white cast which might not suit all skin types
makes the skin a bit oily 
does not last beyond 2-3 hours


But, I have issues with its lasting power. It does make my skin look a bit oily and dull by the end of the day so that did not quite work out for me! Also, I do not think it really lightens up the skin or clears up the tan or makes you look fair. It just brightens the skin subtly which is something which you will like when the product is fresh on skin.

The texture of the product is a bit creamy and it leaves a dewy finish, as I mentioned earlier. Whether it will lead to breakouts or not is something I can not vouch for! As for the cleanup part, the product gets cleansed off easily without any issues so hopefully it is non-comedogenic and does not cause clogged pores.

Price: Rs 65 for 9gms

So, what about you? Did you use this product? Do you like any other BB cream?

Some Random Product Reviews - Part IV

Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion Deep Care Complex

Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion Deep Care Complex

My Experience
When the ads came up on television, I was quite excited about it but then never really came around buying it. So, when I got this in a package from BeBeautiful, I was kind of excited to try it out. 

Dove Essential Nourishment Body Lotion Deep Care Complex

And, I am happy that I didn't buy it. No, I don't wanna say its a bad product. But, it has quite many disadvantages. As you all would already be aware, my skin is dry and, in winters, it needs proper moisturisation with thick lotions. 

So, I thought this would be a good fit. It glides on skin very easily and disappears soon enough. And, here, starts the problem. After a while, it becomes sticky! Even the clothes start sticking to the body!! 

And, it was still sticky when I used to take only a pea size amount which was quite surprising. And, considering Hyderabad is a dry climate area, humidity issue is ruled out.

Lakme Peach Milk Moisturizer

My Experience
It is a thin pinkish lotion. There is an issue with the product. Sometimes, you can see only pink water coming out of the bottle which means emulsion is not stable. So, I had to shake the bottle every time before using. 

Now, when I used it as a moisturizer, my skin felt dry after 20-30 minutes of application only. So, I had to discontinue using it as a moisturizer but it was perfect for a body lotion. 

My body never felt dry except my arms which are prone to excessive dryness. So, I would suggest this as a body lotion unless you have a normal skin. I am not sure if it suits oily skin!

Ponds White Beauty Peel-Off Instant Brightening Mask

My Experience
This was another product I wanted to try but never got around buying it and I am glad. Nah, the product is good and delivers immediate but short-lived results. But, the problem is its smell.

When I apply this product on the face, it smells so strongly of something like ammonia or some chemical that it becomes difficult to breathe. The smell doesn't linger on skin. It stays for just a few seconds while applying the product. 

But, its enough to deter a person to use the product. One needs to apply a thick layer of this mask which dries off in about 15-20 minutes and then it peels off easily without clumping anywhere. 

The results were amazing when I used it for the first time. I could see immediate brightening of the face. But, sadly, it wasn't visible after 2-3 hours which was quite disappointing.
